- dredmorbius 7y agoIf you're ever in the Austin area, the ... jaunt ... out to Johnson Ranch (Stonewall, TX) is an interesting one. It's about 60 miles from Round Rock or downtown. I prefer the northern route. The ranch is ... out in the middle of nowhere. And if you keep on heading West, even that seems densely populated. Imagining that without power, gas, or phones, gives pause. https://www.nps.gov/lyjo/planyourvisit/visitlbjranch.htm https://www.nps.gov/lyjo/planyourvisit/visitlbjranch.htm
